What’s Happening? W Hotels New York
It’s Winter… ok, it’s actually Fall but feels like Winter, and that means all activities for me need to be inside and accompanied by drinks that can warm (i.e. liquor) or are warm (i.e. tea, coco, or hot liquors). Otherwise, I’ll be tucked away hibernating in socks with Netflix on repeat. But, I don’t want…

Allison McGuire Talks the Walc | Part II
So what do you think about that show Shark Tank? What are your thoughts on that? I think it sort of gives the idea that people who have money can invest in me. “This is so easy. All I have to do is get in front of them and pitch it,” and there’s nothing else…

My nights at Sonesta Ocean Point
I’ve never not wanted to be in the city more than I have in 2017. Man, oh, man is it tiresome, and brutal, and rambunctious, simultaneously when you need it the least. And yes, many of you can say, “Tillie… then move.” Way ahead of you smart ass, that’s already in the works, but until…

Tips to know before going to: Marrakech – Part 2
Just to quickly clear things up as some folks are confused, I didn’t hate Marrakech at all. If anything, I loved it so much, there was a brief moment where I nearly extended my trip. The only reason I didn’t was the six-room riad I resided, was completely booked. Sooooo, yeah. Anyway, now we’re on to…

Subliminal Shopping via Facebook Finds
Way too much time is spent on social media, so it’s no surprise that brands use it as a way to get your attention. Since about October of 2016, I’ve been screenshotting brands that pop up on my timeline, disguising themselves as a friend’s post. With one click I’ve either bought something I don’t really…
